About this property
Keeper's Landing Marsh Retreat!
WELCOME TO CATCH 22 This beautiful beach cottage is located in Cape Fear Station, just minutes from East Beach, Shoals Club, The Commons Park and the Bald Head Island Conservancy. The home is nestled among ancient live oak trees, the salt marsh and the ocean environment in the quiet and secluded area of Keepers Landing. The smell of the fresh salt air and the sound of the surf in the distance are a constant reminder of the beauty of your surroundings. Out the front door and across the street our guests can enjoy use of the private marsh walk where you can fish, crab, SUP or launch a canoe or kayak. The beach and the Shoals Club are a short bike ride away or less than 2 minutes away by golf cart.
The home is a reverse floor plan with the living area upstairs and the bedrooms on the first floor. The home provides privacy and comfort as each bedroom has thick plush pillow top mattresses, its own full bathroom and TV. There are 2 bedrooms in the main house each with access to the screened porch. The master has a king bed and the guest room has a queen bed and a set of twin bunks. The crofter, located over the garage, provides extra privacy with a queen bed, TV, full bathroom, sitting area and private deck. The screened porch, the upper deck off the main living area and a large open deck in the privacy of the back of the home are all perfect for total relaxation, grilling, dining al fresco, cocktails and company.
Our cottage is well stocked for you to enjoy a comfortable beach vacation. There is a fully stocked kitchen including dinner plates/etc. service for 12, varying sizes of pots, pans and cookware, serving bowls and platters, glassware (including wine and cocktail) and a starter supply of cleaning essentials. The house is equipped with WiFi, a 55" Samsung SmartTV with streaming devices (Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc.), plus TV's in each bedroom all with streaming devices, (we do not have cable TV), a brand new Bintelli 6 person golf cart, outdoor shower, new Weber grill, beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, corn hole, crab trap/nets and accessories, 2 adult bicycles with baskets, bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, board games, puzzle, books, Pack-n-Play crib, regular coffee maker, blender, crockpot, toaster and ice cream/sorbet maker.
The island has many activities to keep the adventure going. Aside from the beautiful beaches, there are lighthouse tours at "Old Baldy", kids camp opportunities through the BHI Conservancy, the Shoals Club (only available if temporary membership is purchased), Riverside Adventure Company (www.riversideadventure.com) where you can rent bikes and beach equipment. There are also many ongoing family fun activities. Coastal Urge (www.coastalurge.com) provides rentals of surfboards, skim boards, body boards and paddle boards. The Spa located next to the Maritime Market is just another outlet to help calm, soothe, and heal for extra relaxation. Should you need some extra transportation, Cary Cart Company can have another golf cart delivered to the home prior to your arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Robert and Anette Morrison
Our love for the beach sent us on a search and journey to find the perfect one in 1996 when we moved to North Carolina. It didn't take long or very much research to fall in love with Bald Head Island! The whole experience is like no place else we have ever been. The lifestyle is slow, the opportunity for family quality time, the beach life and and the focus on nature and environmental preservation is what makes it so special.
2020 is finally our year! We recently purchased the home and are having so much fun adding our personal touches to what is already a perfect beach cottage. Our 3 children (now adults) couldn't be more thrilled that we finally have our own piece of this wonderful island!
